Brazil Mexico | World Cup 2018 | Live Score and Commentary | Brazil Score

PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP! That's it. It's all over. And Brazil are deservingly through. They played some eye-catching football to get the better of the Mexicans and they can be proud of this performance.

Mexico had a good run and their exciting brand of football will not be forgotten fast.

Anyway, that's that from the yap centre. We'll be belting out the post-match prose and all that jazz in a bit.

This is me, Shambhu Ajith, signing off. Hope y'all had a ball.

Ciao.

95' We are into the final minute of the game and Brazil seem set to go through.

94' Layun sends one more into the box from the right flank but Miranda gets to it first and lofts it in the air and it falls kindly for Alisson.

94' Dos Santos tries to sent one in from the left flank but Casemiro hoists it clear.

93' Layun whips in a curler from the right wing but Thiago Silva heads it clear.

92' Layun struggles against the wrestling Firmino on the left wing and somehow wins a goalkick.

91' Lozano takes a shot straight at the advertising hoardings and Alisson is yet to make a save today.

90' Substitution for Brazil.

The absolutely brilliant Willian steps out and Marquinhos replaces him.

90' 6 minutes added on!

89' Can Mexico pull 2 rabbits out of their hats in the dying embers of the game? Got to say, it looks highly unlikely.

87' ROBERTO FIRMINOOOOOOOOOOOO! GOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

Fernandinho breaks and feeds a delightful ball, perfectly weighted, for Neymar who ventures into the box on the left side and he tries to send it past Ochoa who still gets a touch on it. However, the ball still rolls across the goal and falls for Roberto Firmino at the far post and he taps it in and it's almost settled here now.

86' It's a bit awkward inside the box but the flag is raised as Vela tries to get to a looping ball before Alisson and fails.

85' Substitution for Brazil.

Philippe Coutinho off. Roberto Firmino on. Meanwhile, Mexico have won a corner.

84' Brazil are still pressing high, thereby forcing Mexico to go back as far as Ochoa. But they spring forward immediately afterwards but their move ends at the edge of the area where Gimenez goes to the ground after failing to trap Lozano's ball.

83' Meanwhile, Roberto Firmino looks all set to come on for Brazil.

82' Guardado fouls Thiago Silva inside the area and the defender is on the ground and receiving medical attention.

81' Salcedo tries to feed Vela deep into the final third on the right wing but it's a bit too much to ask of the veteran. Brazil have a goalkick.

79' Substitution for Brazil.

Paulinho off. Fernandinho on.

77' You can't keep Coutinho keep quiet even when he's on the ground. He feeds Neymar who can't get his shot away however, and Mexico break on the ccounter and Lozano labours his way into space on the left side of the box and tries to send one across goal but Fagner's spectacular sliding tackle sends the ball out. In fact, it takes a touch off Lozano and it goes out for a goalkick.

76' Salcedo gets a yellow card for kicking Neymar from behind.

74' Gabriel Jesus puts a dent on Layun's career with an array of tricks produced one after the other before dragging the ball to Neymar on the edge of the area. But the Mexican defenders hold it out and quell the danger.

74' Mexico giving away silly freekicks. Hector Herrera needs to be careful.

73' Guardado spreads it out to the left wing and Lozano checks a couple of times and sends it back before Gallardo is found in space on the left flank. However, his cross is easily cleared by Miranda.

72' VAR checks and ridiculously lets him go. What is happening?!

71' Neymar was slithering on the ground like a fish taken fresh out of water.

70' Absolute chaos near the tactical area as Neymar is on the ground (obviously). OH MY GOD! Replays just revealed that Neymar's ankle was stepped on by Layun. Criminal that. Red card offence.

69' Herrera crosses it in from the right side of the box which is cleared momentarily and it falls to Guardado who runs up to it and leathers it back but Casemiro puts his boot in the way and clears the danger.

68' Corner is taken short and the subsequent cross goes straight out for a goalkick.

67' Some samba delight on show as Willian continues to be a menacing presence in the centre. He combines well with Coutinho and Paulinho and finally feeds Neymar on the edge of the area. His shot is deflected out for a corner though.

65' Neymar is felled near the halfway line by Herrera.

64' You just can't write Mexico off. Vela protects the ball on the right flank and sends it back to Guardado who plays a delightful ball for Lozano on the edge of the area. He drags the ball across the face of the goal but Gimenez is not waiting at the far post to poke it in.

63' Filipe Luis finds Willian on the right side with a crossfield pass and Willian, as enterprising as ever, he drops his shoulder and finds some space past Salcedo and goes for it from inside the box but once again Ochoa is up to it and parries it for a corner. Corner is once again poor and offers nothing of note.

60' Gimenez plays a delightful outside of the boot ball that finds Lozano in space. He cuts in and tries to leather one home but the Brazilian defenders block it and it falls for Vela. Vela also goes for goal and it's a very good effort and Alisson has to palm it out for a corner. Corner comes to nothing though.

59' Substitution for Mexico.

Chicha off. Gimenez on.

59' Casemiro fouls Lozano and gets a yellow card. He'll miss the next game.

58' Neymar pulls off a lovely exchange with Gabriel Jesus but can't get his shot away. No worries, Fagner collects the ball and cuts it back from the right wing and Paulinho tries to sidefoot it home but once again Ochoa's positioning skills shine through and parry it out of danger.

57' Alisson's poor clearance gifts Mexico a throw-in on the left flank.

55' The freekick is floated into the danger area but Ayala sees it clear. The ball eventually falls for Neymar who goes for goal from outside the area but it's a rather awkward shot that neither has the pace or the direction to trouble the goalkeeper and it sails over the crossbar and into the stands.

55' Substitution for Mexico.

J. Dos Santos on. Alvarez off.

54' Brilliant, brilliant stuff from Willian as he gallops past 2 players and tries to charge on ahead to the right side of the box. Hector Herrera tugs at his shirt and pulls him back and gets a yellow card for that.

53' Lozano works his magic once again but his pass to Chicharito on the edge of the area isn't trapped well and Brazil thwart the danger.

52' Mexico have a corner now. Vela takes it but Brazil clear their lines. Hector Herrera receives it on the right side of the box and he smashes it across and it misses all the bodies in the centre and Vela wins a corner once again. He takes the corner which falls to Layun on the edge of the area. He goes for goal but it takes a deflection and ends up being an easy catch for Alisson.

50' NEYMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR! GOLAAAAAAAAAAAZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Neymar drifts inwards from the left flank and just as we thought he was teeing himself up for a shot, he plays a backheel and Willian pounces upon that and forays into the left side of the box and sends it across the face of the goal with pace and Neymar has already made his run to the far post and he touches it in! The superstar has arrived!

49' He drives it to the edge of the area for Neymar who can't bring it under his control and Mexico break. Gallardo charges ahead and shifts inwards and into the centre and tries to curl it into the top corner. But his shot sails over the crossbar.

48' Fagner is released deep into final third on the right and he tries to dink it into the area but the Mexicans head it out for yet another corner. Willian will take it.

47' Neymar takes it short to Coutinho, who darts past the Mexican defenders at the edge of the area and into the box. He lets one rip but Ochoa makes a good save to his right and sends it out for another corner. This corner comes to nothing.

47' Brazil break again. Neymar has the beating of Salcedo on the edge of the box and gets the better of him momentarily before the defender catches up and sends it out for a corner.

46' Paulinho spreads it out to Neymar on the left wing. He sends it in to the area and Jesus collects it. He holds it up well but his shot is blocked as Mexico clear the danger immediately.

PEEEEEEEEEEP! And we're off in the second half.

Who else is longing for a goal now? In-house pseudo tactician Amit Mishra just figured out that it's been a whopping 161 minutes since we've last seen one of those in this World Cup. It hasn't been mind numbing dulldom but let's give the netting the cuddling it deserves, yeah?

The players are walking out on the ground and we'll kick off in the second half shortly. Meanwhile, Miguel Layun comes on for Rafa Marquez!
